Excerpt:

Travelers may see an all-time Thanksgiving high for gas even though the national average gasoline price fell 2 cents since last week to $3. 43 a gallon for regular, reflecting lower seasonal demand for gas. The national average is still 6 cents higher than the same period one year ago, the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said today. While most regions in the country saw a weekly decline in prices, the Midwest saw an increase of about a penny to $3. 34 for a gallon of regular gas. "As we approach Thanksgiving, the national average has taken quite a drop, dropping close to 30 cents in the last month," said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
